DONNIE HAS A HEART MURMUR
Donovan. San Francisco, 2004
_Recently, Donnie's doctor diagnosed him with a Grade 4 (out of 6) heart
murmur and recommended we take action to determine the cause. We had the sonogram on March 10th and the result is that Donnie has very mild heart disease, but nothing to be too worried about. Except for one valve, the rest seems to be functioning fine, and it doesn't require that he take medication. We subsequently had an x-ray to determine if he has any sort of respiratory issues. No big tumors, but he continues to have a bit of a cough when doing a lot of activity.
We'll keep you updated if anything changes!

DONNIE (BEFORE AND AFTER)
LA "PANO" EN EL VERANO
Panochita sheds a lot in the summer. It's a bit unbearable. Here she is getting all her fur over our sisal rug. She loves to be brushed and then attacks the furball which is about the size of a basketball. To cool down, Chita sprawls out and does nothing. Which is, actually, not too different from what she does in the Winter.
EL "DONO" EN EL PASILLO
Here is Donnie in the hallway while Ami makes beer in the kitchen. As long as Donnie has one of his (many) blankets to sit on, he's generally satisfied. I love this photo because you can see his little deformed ear (which happened due to draining a hematoma a couple years ago). It also captures his very human-like eyes.
